I have beaver living by my dock and I see him swimming around it at night.

I'd like for him to come ashore and chew some of my small trees down.

How do I get this to happen. He never comes ashore he just swims around.

I just pull down my pants and the beaver comes to me, not much effort on my part at all.

Bill Cosby had a system to snag some beaver. Would not reccomend, though.

I've found they are picky in the wood they like. But in general they prefer hardwood over softwood.

Gotta put the scent down. They won't come without the scent.

How far onshore do you want him to come? They don’t come far out of the water.

I'm assuming you want him to chew those trees so you don't have to. Free labor so to speak.

Except your labor will then be put toward removing his m-fing beaver dam.

Show off any expensive possessions you own. That should get them wanting to come onto your property.

If you like hunting, fishing, freedom, and money, don't do it. Or if you do, make sure you use protection. If not, you will have to shoot it and bury it somewhere nobody will ever think to look when you are done.

Beavers can be very frustrating creatures. They always have a headache.

This is often good beaver bait.

Right past the waterline is where the trees are.

I have just always heard stories about how they chew eveything up but this one is rather selective.

Btw I knew I was going to get some ribbing.lol
